Review for Nature's Plus Source of Life Energy Shot

CAFFEINE
CONTENT

88
mg

EASE
IN ACQUISITION—2

There
is very little consistency in what energy products are carried from health food
store to health food store; I don’t think I’ve ever seen the same product carried
twice in all the stores I've been to.Keep dropping into such
places as you find them and chances are you might come across it, though it may
take a while.

APPEARANCE/PRESENTATION—6

I’m
going to give this points for being bold, but I find that with the name of this
product being so dang long and the label being inundated with a plethora of
text outlining all the things that this shot has that you should put into your
body (or lacks that you shouldn’t), the whole thing generally looks badly
overloaded and cluttered.

TASTE—2

I’m
used to energy shots tasting harsh and unpleasant (sigh), but given that this
monster carries four freaking ounces of liquid and is supposedly all natural, I
would think that they could have made it taste a little more agreeable than
this.The flavor is listed as
“tropical fruit” but the whole thing tastes like somebody blended up a couple
handfuls of multivitamins and added a few berries for flavor as an
afterthought.It’s vile and
unpleasant, and one of the less impressive shots I’ve had tastewise (which is
saying quite a bit).

KICK
(INTENSITY)—5

I
find that drinks in this particular range of caffeine (70-90 mg) vary more than
one might expect; I’ve gotten some pretty impressive results and pretty dismal
ones from drinks that contained the same 80 mg of caffeine.This particular low-caffeine shot
produces effects that are obvious enough to be noticed and maybe make me feel a
little peppier, but still fall short of what I would personally like to get out
of my energy products.

KICK
(DURATION)—5

I
think I felt this work for about two hours, after which I didn’t crash per se,
but did feel strongly like I needed a nap.

THE
SHOT OVERALL—4

Doesn’t
work all that well, tastes pretty bad—do you need me to say any more than that?
